    Haha I'll respect your opinion. I wouldn't call Dwight the best center, but for sure, he's more dominant than Yao if you're going to think of 'Shaq-kind of dominant'. You don't have to be dominant to be the best though IMO.

    ROFL. What you said is soooo flattering to this troll. I personally don't give a damn about what she says. And I am sure 99.9% of the people don't either. It would be different if he is someone who is respectable in his opinion. Too bad this troll is not. :D

    "I love Yao, I don't like Dwight, but I'm not delusional either". You sure about that? Put down that pipe. Better yet give it to me :D

    even shaq said Yao is the strongest player he's had to play against (or he said something of that nature)

    look. i can see a lot people like you said Dwight is better because he is fun to watch , or he never miss a game, maybe he has much more room to be better.

    but right now? yao is much better than Dwight, yao has only miss 3 game at first 3 season, you never know what's going happen to dwight. dwight is better rebounder for sure, but yao's offense is way much better than dwight.
    untill dwight develop into not only a dunker, he never better than yao

    I'll bite.

    Yao's a better skilled player than Dwight but I'd take Dwight right now simply because he is healthier.

    WIN NOW!

    Dwight Howard's career averages are 16.5pts, 12.3 Rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.4 Assists. 56.6 FG% and 60.2 FT%.

    Yao Ming's career averages are 19pts, 9.2 Rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.6 Assists. 52 FG% and 82.8 FT%.

    but of cos there's also the fact that Howard plays in the east.

    Anyway, i remember few years ago, Erica Dampier claiming himself to be the best center in the league....go figure. I dont really care if Yao is the best center in the league or not, if people wanna say Howard is the best, its fine with me, what i want is for Yao to win a Championship for the Rockets!! I hope Yao continue to improve his game, he looks better than ever in this past 2 games.

    Let me try to break this down:

    Shooting - Yao
    Dunking - Dwight
    Low Post Offense - Yao
    Low Post Defense - Yao
    Blocking - even
    Rebounding - Dwight
    Passing - Yao
    Speed/Athleticism - Dwight

    Dwight has a career avg of 2.9 TO's to Yao's 2.6 TO's. So who's the butterfingers!?

    Every aspect of the game!? Stating opinions as fact!? Do some research before coming up with stupid claims. You must have been looking at NBA2k9 ratings or never seen anything outside Sportscenter.
